Description

Skillfully capturing differing and complicated perspectives to rising xenophobia through heartfelt testimonials of first- and second-generation settlers living in Brampton, Ontario, this layered 16mm portrait of an ever-changing city provides a holistic snapshot of a place that is in large part shaped by both its established and newcomer South Asian communities. Mariam Zaidi

 

This film is screening in the Lessons in Liberation shorts program.
